Thirteen starters are back for coach Charles Swann who will look for Butler to repeat his 1,200-yard passing season last year. Frank Hall is back as a key receiver, and Taylor Mayes should also catch his fair share of passes. If Colten Keener is effective at RB, it will make for a pretty balanced attack. The defense needs some help for Corner Kellan Carrell and Safety Jordan Mayes. Zane Lacaze should help out the linebackers. The Tigers can pull some upsets; they have the talent to surprise opponents.
